Photo Friday: Foxy Baby Shower Card

Fox Baby Shower Card

Present and card ready for the baby shower.

What do I do after the Jayhawks win their first real game of the season? Write a blog. Quite celebratory, right‽ Hey, we all celebrate in our own way. (p.s. meet my new favorite punctuation mark, the interrobang.)

I felt this super cute, foxy baby shower card I made was just the item to blog on the occasion. This card went to a couple expecting a baby boy in December. I was inspired to create a fall, fox card after we found an adorable little outfit with a fox front and footies. We weren't the only ones that thought this little boy would like foxes; another couple presented him a fox hat. He can literally be covered in fox from head to toe now — lucky kid.

In addition to the custom card, I drew a folded ribbon banner on the outside. It took a few pencil tries to get it just right, but after that a little ink polished it off nicely. If you want to learn how, head over to this Hand-Drawn Banner Tutorial on The Postman's Knock's blog.

My efforts on this card probably don't surprise anyone much. I love cards. Which, get excited, our Christmas cards arrived today!!! Yes, three exclamation marks doesn't even express all my excitement on that matter. I am ready for Christmas, who cares if it is even Nov. 14.

Happy Friday!

How cute is this little outfit, which inspired the card.

Disclaimer: I did not draw that cute fox. But, I saw it, and it was so cute that I had to use it.

With the card attached, I should probably take it inside and get ready for the shower.

I based my card on the cute, foxy outfit we found. I hope this little boy is okay with being foxy.
